hey guys
i made a slug with dash for my stories urls such as :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/482636/fetching-records-with-slug-instead-of-id
this is my code to create slug :
function Slugit($title) {
$title = strip_tags($title);
// Preserve escaped octets.
$title = preg_replace('|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|', '---$1---', $title);
// Remove percent signs that are not part of an octet.
$title = str_replace('%', '', $title);
// Restore octets.
$title = preg_replace('|---([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])---|', '%$1', $title);
$title = remove_accents($title);
if (seems_utf8($title)) {
if (function_exists('mb_strtolower')) {
$title = mb_strtolower($title, 'UTF-8');
}
$title = utf8_uri_encode($title, 500);
}
$title = strtolower($title);
$title = preg_replace('/&.+?;/', '', $title); // kill entities
$title = str_replace('.', '-', $title);
$title = preg_replace('/[^%a-z0-9 _-]/', '', $title);
$title = preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', $title);
$title = preg_replace('|-+|', '-', $title);
$title = trim($title, '-');
return $title;
}
as you can see dashes , up to here , everything is fine but when i click on the link , it can not open and find it my database as it's saved in normal and with no dashes
so i wrote something to remove dashes
$string = str_replace('-', ' ', $string);
but when there is ? or . in url , then it can not dispaly !
any help to retrieve back the original url ?!
